I am profoundly aware of how social factors impact one’s health and the health of a community. The COVID-19 pandemic has placed a spotlight on many of the disparities that exist in our society, including access to good healthcare, equal educational opportunities, continuing racial injustices and economic disparities. I am running to continue the fight to truly eliminate these disparities and improve the health of our families, the health of our community, and the health of our democracy. 

In 2018, I ran for City Council in La Mesa because we needed a leader who would serve the residents, advocate on their behalf, and bring transparency to City government. I was honored that the residents of La Mesa believed I would be that leader, and together we have worked to make La Mesa a better city for all residents. I am ready to do this with all of the residents of the 79th District.
